“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But under the name of Liberalism, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program until one day America will be a socialist nation without knowing how it happened.”
Norman Thomas, Socialist Party presidential candidate in 1940, 1944 and 1948.
****************************************
Today most Americans are fuming over the idea that this great country, The United States of America is on the verge of becoming a socialist state and they are raging mad at those they feel are responsible for leading us in that direction. Yet what they fail to realize is that this country has continually inched in that direction over the past 60 - 70 years. Whose fault is it? It is our fault for taking the liberties we have enjoyed for granted and assuming that the USA would never embrace socialism.
We became lazy! We gave self serving politicians permission to take advantage of us! We believed them when they said they had our best interest at hand. We believed them when they said they would look out for us. And now, we are upset? Wake UP America! We have no one to blame but ourselves!
However as Americans who love this country we can still do something about it. We can wake up from our sleep and take back this great country by getting involved in our democracy. Do not allow all the sacrifices made for this country by brave men and women be made in vain.
We each have one vote and while it may not seem like much it still can make the difference. Let's put men and women in Washington, in our state capitols and in our city governments who will represent us, the citizens.
God Bless You and God Bless America!
